3 questions the Star Wars: Ahsoka finale answered (and 4 it didn’t)

The Disney+ Star Wars show Ahsoka aired its season 1 finale last week, leaving fans wondering about the fate of several characters. Beware SPOILERS AHEAD!

Ezra Bridger finally managed to head back home and reunite with Hera Syndulla, while Sabine Wren and Ahsoka were left stranded back on the planet of Peridea, the Purrgil graveyard and the former Witch Kingdom of the Dathomiri.

The action-packed, emotional eight episodes delivered, delivering that classic Star Wars feel. They also answered a few burning questions people had from previous shows and movies.

But at the end of the finale, a few mysteries remained unsolved, which strongly indicated that there would be a season 2. Let’s start with what we learned.

3 questions answered by the Star Wars: Ahsoka finale

Where were Thrawn and Ezra and how would they return?

Last we saw Grand Admiral Thrawn, he was forced to exile with Ezra aboard his Imperial flagship, the Chimaera.

Ahsoka revealed where Thrawn and Ezra had ended up. The purrgils that ambushed Thrawn’s forces at the end of Rebels took them to the planet Peridea in a distant galaxy. After waiting for 10 years, Thrawn finally found his way home in Ahsoka, thanks to Morgan Elsbeth.

In the finale, the Admiral returns to the galaxy where most of Star Wars takes place with the help of Morgan’s intergalactic hyperspace ring, the Eye of Sion. He leaves Morgan herself behind, using her as a sacrificial pawn to hold off Ahsoka.

Ezra manages to get on the Chimaera before it goes into hyperspace. At the end of the finale, he reunites with his Rebels teammate, Hera Syndulla.

Is Sabine Wren a Jedi?

When Rebels ended, fans assumed that Ahsoka and Sabine remained together as master and apprentice, and set out to find Ezra almost immediately after the war ended. However, in Ahsoka, we see that did not happen.

At the beginning of Ahsoka, the two are separated, and there’s a lot of awkward tension between them regarding their past. The show initially tells us that Ahsoka walked away as Sabine lacked any strong connection to the Force and showed very limited signs of improvement.

We later learn that Ahsoka feared Sabine wanted to become a Jedi so she could get revenge for the purge of Mandalore that killed her entire family. She felt Sabine was not ready to truly align herself with the Force. However, Ahsoka was also having trouble overcoming her own trauma and self-doubt stemming from her time as a Padawan. Sabine, meanwhile, felt abandoned by Ahsoka.

In the end, Sabine rises above these doubts and proves her worth in the final battle on Peridea. She successfully taps into the Force to summon her lightsaber during the fight with the zombie troopers, helps Ezra get onto the Eye of Sion, and stays behind to assist Ahsoka rather than go after Thrawn.

This character development, along with the Night Mothers saying she “reeked of Jedi,” shows that Sabine Wren is indeed a Jedi.

Does Force Ghost Anakin ever meet with Ahsoka Tano?

We have long wondered whether Anakin Skywalker’s Force Ghost, the one we see at the end of Return of the Jedi, ever showed up to chat with Ahsoka, Luke, or Leia. Fans were disappointed when he did not appear in the sequel movies and they killed Luke off without him having met his father’s Force Ghost.

Thanks to Ahsoka, now we know that Anakin’s Force Ghost appears in front of his former apprentice and even finishes her training.

Fans were so taken with the brief live-action Clone Wars sequence that they now want a full-length movie featuring Hayden Christensen and Ariana Greenblatt, the actress who plays young Ahsoka in the show.
